Your throat is a critical component of your body that can significantly inhibit your breathing ability if it sustains an injury as a result of a car accident.

If you are having trouble breathing or believe you’ve damaged your throat after a car collision, you should seek Chiropractic treatment as soon as possible.

Today, our Conyers car accident injury Chiropractors take a look at some of the signs, symptoms and treatment solutions for throat injuries caused by auto accidents.

Throat Injuries Caused By Car Accidents

There are two types of throat injuries that often take place as a result of a car accident: blunt trauma and penetrating trauma.

Blunt Trauma

Blunt Trauma to the throat can cause significant damage to numerous areas, like your trachea, esophagus, spine and brain stem. Plus, blunt force trauma can negatively affect areas near the throat, like the neck, spine, and brain.

Penetrating Trauma

Penetrating trauma is often more critical, as some kind of an object has penetrated into the throat. This often causes excessive bleeding and significant damage if any major arteries or veins are punctured.

The reason the throat is vulnerable to damage in an auto accident is that unlike other areas of the body, your throat does not have any kind of protection, like the organs that are positioned behind your rib cage.

It’s a sensitive spot that can be easily injured.

Symptoms of a Throat Injury

Some symptoms of a throat injury include:

  • Shortness of breath
  • Trouble breathing
  • Coughing up blood
  • Dizziness
  • Noisy/Wheezing breathing
  • Trouble Swallowing
  • Inflammation

Any of these symptoms are a sign of a critical throat injury, and you should contact one of the experienced car accident injury Chiropractors at AICA Conyers.

Treatment of Throat Injuries

The first thing one of our Chiropractors will do if you have sustained throat damage is check the injury to make sure your airway is not obstructed in any way.

Sometimes this happens by placing a tube down your throat, while other circumstances involve a minor incision that’s made to increase the amount of air that transfers in and out of the lungs.

After they are able to control the bleeding, a surgeon may be required to work on the damaged area.
